Well Parades is now an Astro. Unfortunately, we did not get Kyle Tucker...the Cubs did

It sucks ownership won’t do anything cause we finally have a chance to take down the Astros. Especially if they lose Bregman as well

That also means Nico Hoerner will probably be off the table now too, I believe they could have moved Parades or Hoerner and been fine with their depth but not both.

Kyle Tucker to the Cubs for Isaac Paredes and prospects

One top prospect and some scrub pitcher. Can't believe the Asstros traded him for those guys. Tucker in half a season in 2024 put up a .993 OPS and a 4.7 bWAR. He's just about up there with Juan Soto.

I'm guessing they asked for one of our younger starters. So do we roll the dice on Hyeseong Kim?

I mean, it's what you get for 1 year of a player.

I wouldn't have done the trade if I were the Astros. It's kind of like waving the white flag.

Can someone please explain to me the allure of that little midget?

Bro is going to hang a .300 slugging % in the majors.

Stay the hell away from him.

Agreed. His only asset is that he's 24. So maybe Ha-Seong Kim, then? He's 29, and his numbers shouldn't really drop going from San Diego to Seattle.

Funny how those two guys almost have the same exact name. I'm guessing that in Korea nobody in a crowd ever yells "Hey, Mr. Kim!"

The are obviously not going to retain Bregman. Parades is a 3B

If we sign Santana we don't have room for Suzuki so then get Paredes instead. Then the offense is set.

Robles
Julio
Raley
Cal
Randy
Santana
Parades
Nico
JP

What is it with the utter infatuation with slow RH dead pull low average hitters that won't stand a chance in t-mobile? Parades couldn't hit a lick at Wrigley and you expect him to come here and hit???? After the trade to the Cubs, he hit a robust 67 tOPS....wait....heck, he sounds like a Mariner stalwart already

You might want to ask the Astros this question though they do have the Crawford Boxes.
